Pardew said: "That's a bit harsh. Because he is so quick you always want him bursting down the outside.

"I thought he played well first half. He created three or four situations for us. He is a player who has only played 14 Premier League games, he is learning, his discipline was much better defensively but when you get a 0-0, there can be frustration from the crowd.

"Overall, I though the crowd was very positive and I thank them for that.

"Yes, we want to win. We want the possibility of the top six. Don't make me think I am happy with the draw."
